Homecoming Parade

The Homecoming Parade is one of the biggest highlights of Homecoming Week and is a great opportunity to show your organization, department or residence hall's involvement within the WSU and Winona communities. We ask that you incorporate the theme, A Hero's Homecoming, into your parade entry to demonstrate creativity and energy. Remember: Your float is a direct representation of your image and what you are portraying about your group. Have fun with it, but be smart!

No Beverages or Beverage Containers Allowed

New Policy: No parade participant will be allowed to have any beverages or beverage containers (bottles, cups, cans, etc.) in the parade line-up area or in the parade itself. If you are found to have anything, it will be confiscated and thrown away. Anyone found in violation of this policy will be subject to removal from the parade.

In accordance with municipal laws, there is a zero tolerance policy for alcohol. Any representation of alcohol, written or insinuated, is prohibited. Anyone found in violation of this policy will be subject to removal from the parade and legal action taken by the police. The Winona Police Department will be patrolling the parade route.
